I'm sure I don't speak for everyone or even a majority, but I've been playing D&D for over 30 years and Pathfinder for about 12-13 years.
That said Ninja and Samurai were a standalone class going back to Oriental Adventures, remade for 2e and again their own class in 3.5... and again in Pathfinder 1e. The argument to separate or neglect them just seems foolish and dumb.
I'm currently playing a "ninja" via gestalting a rogue and fighter with various feats for a lackluster ninja as others have put it. Sure it works considering the lack of options, but when you've been playing a ninja/samurai since the beginning you really notice what's missing.
It's the whole issue with 5e version of the Samurai archetype for fighter, it's really weak compared to what it should be.
